<p>Hi, I'm Tyson. I'm pretty new to Rust, but I've submitted a couple of beginner PRs against rustc, and I'm really enjoying learning about the compiler. I'd like to start contributing to efforts to lower barriers of adopting Rust. For starters, improving compile times is something I'd like to help out with.</p>
<p>I'm self-directing my work right now, but if there is anyone looking for help with a project, I'd be happy to get involved. :)</p>

<p>Also, if you're interested, you might look at compiler memory usage. There are some good memory profilers, and you could take a look at how much memory rustc uses when compiling something huge like rustc_middle.</p>

<p>And fewer people look at that.</p>

<p>There's almost certainly more low hanging fruit.</p>

<p>I've been thinking of that very thing lately. I've had to pare down to <code>-j 5</code> or risk irrecoverable thrashing. Definitely would like to not have to do that. :)</p>

<p>Yeah, compilers may unroll loops but during runtime very often size is speed.</p>
